The University of Wisconsin-Madison is trying to end sexism with science. The college announced the launch of a "feminist biology" post-doctoral fellowship, in which students will attempt to "uncover and reverse gender bias in biology," according to the official release.

"We aren't doing science well if we ignore the ideas and research of people who aren't male, white, straight, or rich," Caroline VanSickle, the program's first student, wrote in an email to Campus Reform. "Feminist science seeks to improve our understanding of the world by including people with different viewpoints."

The program has its critics — those who think it is more political than scientific. "Women are hardly ignored in biology," Christina Goff Sommers of the conservative American Enterprise Institute said in an episode of her series The Factual Feminist, the College Fix reported. "In fact, they have far surpassed men in earning biology degrees. This new program is not about getting more women into the field. It's about promoting women with the right worldview."
